Having said that, I am one of those flight attendants that will 'see no evil' when I see pax with their pets! BUT I work with a lot of FAs who become very militant about the rule. And it is our job to enforce the rules after all.
We travelled to Europe with our Molly about a half a dozen times, as far as Finland which required connections that had us in transit over 24 hours.
Our Molly Muffins (God rest her soul) was a wonderful traveler!
Our vet did not recommend any sedatives. We just would not feed her food or water after midnight. We would give her ice chips to lick onboard, and sometimes about an hour before landing we would offer bits of food.
Once in Europe, we had a fantastic time! And so did Molly!
Try to get your baby used to the sherpa bag ahead of time. Put treats inside and let them become comfortable hanging out in it at home.
Bon Voyage! |
I my case the FAs were really nice!!! As soon as they saw her little carrier they were like " I want to see that cute puppy later on", They asked her race, weight and were very friendly but maybe I just lucked out
. I did put her away when they were serving food
I did have to get a sherpa bag and got Tinkerbell used to it 2 months ahead of time, she did great in it. Like I said before I did take her out for hours and she sleep on my lap
.
Oh yeah no seditives either!!!
